Structural basis for specificity of GRB2-SH2 revealed by a novel ligand binding mode

The complex of Grb2-SH2 a BCR-Abl target peptide reveals that the peptide binds in a β-turn conformation; Trp 121 closes the binding site C-terminal to the phosphotyrosyl residue of the ligand and prevents it from assuming the expected extended conformation.
